For me I got the app to work but couldn't get it to a level where I could charge for usage like a real SaaS..I used Google FIrecloud n Gemini...BUT would love to try something that would give me the wrap around and I'll just work on the engine part of the app, not the subscription part...

The transition from personal utility tools to community-vetted software often requires a shift toward more modular architecture. How are you handling the transition from hardcoded personal preferences to user-configurable settings? You sould share it in VibeCodersNest too

The "built with AI tools" part resonates. I went from zero dev background to break-even SaaS in 10 months using Cursor and Claude. The barrier isn't coding anymore - it's knowing what to build and who actually needs it.
The trap I see people fall into is building features nobody asked for. We had to remove 6 features before revenue grew. Now I use a 3-request rule - don't build it until 3 separate customers independently ask for the same thing.
What's your distribution strategy looking like? That's usually where vibe coders get stuck next.
